User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this CAT6a cable?
This StarTech CAT6a Ethernet cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps (10 Gigabits per second) with a bandwidth of 500MHz. It is optimized for 10GBASE-T network deployments and maintains reliable high-speed performance across its full 100-foot length when used in compatible network environments.
Can this cable deliver power to connected devices?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet Plus Plus (PoE++) with up to 100W power delivery, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications. This enables simultaneous data transmission and power supply to compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and PoE switches without requiring separate power cables.
What type of shielding does this Ethernet cable use?
The cable features S/FTP (Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair) construction with multiple shielding layers. It includes aluminum mylar foil and a tinned copper braid shield that provides comprehensive EMI protection, reduces near-end crosstalk, and maintains signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
Why does this cable have an LSZH jacket?
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket is a safety feature that minimizes toxic fumes and smoke emission if the cable is exposed to fire. This makes the cable suitable for enclosed spaces, air-handling areas, and poorly ventilated installations where fire safety regulations require reduced hazardous emissions.
What are the connector specifications for this patch cable?
Both ends feature RJ-45 male connectors with 50-micron gold plating for corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact. The connectors include snagless boots that prevent accidental disconnection in crowded patch panels and reduce wear during frequent insertion and removal cycles.
Is this cable backward compatible with older network standards?
Yes, this CAT6a cable is fully backward compatible with CAT6, CAT5e, and CAT5 network equipment. It supports the same RJ45 connectors and can be used in networks running at lower speeds while providing headroom for future upgrades to 10G capabilities when network infrastructure is updated.
